Weekly Race Series, Week 3 - Vertigoooo

[Talentless]

i have broadband, what i am assuming is that you could be charged for the use of their server, unless you have other options. i've not onlined, so maybe i'm way off. either way, if there is a cost beyond purchase and registration, if there's registration, it'd better be low. our computers are often crashing or glitching, i'm not sure they could handle the game. this is a smaller loss for me than some others since i hate racing. best lapping is what i love.

take this here

GT4(real info)

 

[miata13B]

the only way I know of getting broadband for that much is if you work for the company. One of my friends does and $15 a month gives them a pretty sweet deal

 

[Max E.]

don't worry guys it won't be online only. poly ain't that stupid.

 

[Talentless]

oh, someone try me set up, ok?

Back on topic of this race!!!!!

I have done what I felt was not possible for me...

I just put down about 15 laps in the 46.5-9 t2 area.

Yes indeed, this a quite the accomplishment for me.

I put down a 46.995 and then a .744 then a .578 (.578 also yeilded my best lap) then a .658

Now I am in the game with some reasonably low times.

But my problem is that my second halves are still sucking the big ones.

I need to put a perfect lap down with the 46 t2 and I will be happy.

For now though, I will settle for the current poopy 46.5 since I have to leave for work in an hour.

Talk you guys tonight when I get back...

I'll give it a try maybe lter T if I'm not too drunk by then

I did some racing last night and (reluctantly) used RER's settings, swapped the brakes around and ended up slashing 6 seconds off of my total time (although my original fast time I was mucking around with my crappy settings) and 3 seconds off of my T2, now at 48.250.

But I'm going to give it a rest now because the whole right side of my body is going numb and I don't feel all that well. Might go watch Ali G- In da House again. .

[EDIT]My T2 time was wrong [/EDIT]

 

[IDAFC21]

alright, I FINALLY have some time to work on this race....just started a new job this week and have been workin all week, but ive got tomorrow off thank god so i'll see what i can do then. I tried RER's crazy settings out the other day and they cut a few seconds off my time not even seriously racing! 👍 i'll see if i can do more w/ it in the next day or so, but I dont know, you guys are comin out w/ some unbelieveable times....rome is just not my track

 

[Talentless]

not doing as well as i'd like, but i'm ok with it. 46.707

 

[Cobraboy]

Cut my T2 from a 48.250 to a 48.235 (w00t) and choped my (legit) total by 0.8XX of a second . About time too because at every T1 I would be 0.6XX ahead of my (un-legit - wall bang) record but then at the T2 I would be 0.100 down. It was depressing seeing the red out of the corner of my eyes....

 

[MajiiK]

at last I'm down under 46 at T2
But as usual fuc*** up in last corner

Got a final time I'm quite happy with(Top ten in Racingline)
But still possible to cut 1 sec on that time.
But it's HARD work. This hard

But still 69 hours 2 go

[miata13B]

Well, getting there finally, I got it down to 46 T2 and I think I should be able to shave of .5 off of my time, so this could get very interesting. I am aiming to get my T2 down into the high 45 or low 46s. My best lap so far is using a 46.xxx T2 right now. We will see

 

[IDAFC21]

damn.....nice run Miata...looks like you may take this one! After many laps and much anger and profanity, I managed to cut my time down tonight from a 47.6 to a 47.3....i'd like to see a 46 before this is all over, even if its just a 46.9! but i dont know if thats gonna happen. Hey miata...would you mind posting up the settings youre using? or is it top secret

 

[Cobraboy]

Hmm, I was 1.1 seconds up at T2 then 0.1 seconds behind at T@. I hate this damn no wall touching, its making me anxious and ruining my times.

 

[miata13B]

I must say, many of times I did I got pissed because I can't use them because of a wall tap. It sucks, and is frustrating!

 

[Cobraboy]

And one particular lap I got a 47.7 T2 but only to tap coming out of the last corner. Grrr.

 

[miata13B]

just ran a clean run with a 46.648, but I am still going through the analyzer to make 100% sure. I am getting more confident with this car. What a wonder of nature this thing is. Everyone should be blessed with a Vertigo in their garage.

 

[Cobraboy]

Ow c'mon man give us your settings. Pleeeeeeease?

 

[miata13B]

The times are not where I want them to be, but I'll give you a replay of a bad lap I did. After reviewing it I realized I PMed Boom with it, but now I shaved it a tad, so I see no harm in posting it.

 

[Cobraboy]

Sorry, I made a mistake, I put itmes instead of settings, pleeeeease can I have your settings?

 

[miata13B]

here it is

 

[miata13B]

Gonna go race now and see if I can get the times down. peace

 

[Mr P]

If you can access your Vertigo's .ini file, try this tip I gleaned from "Heydu" @ Hybrids & Gamesharks Forum.

Editing the oil lines in the ini should bring back full power.

480 =- 1
484 = 929924095

Sure beats buying a new ride & breaking it in to regain Max HP.
Hope this helps...UB57

Thanks for the info

but i don't have one of these Xport, gameshark ,codebusting devices
I will need to do it the old fashioned way .
Thats if i get the time to run in a new car ,,Theres no way in hell im gonna match my best T2's in the car in its current state lapping in the high 46's


To tell you the truth i did'nt even notice that the car was needing oil i was just running lap after lap so on and so forth .I guess i was that tuned in to the racing that i forgot about me poor wee car needing a drink
I will need to be more attentive next time around

BTW Nice time Ron 👍

 

[pedrodaman]

I've decided this will be my last race of this series

I've noticed a considerable amount of advancement in my laps since starting the series and i owe it all to you guys who have helped me out with tips and settings etc

But this is comming from the recent events involving Sandstorm and some of the pro's ( i dunno what the case is here)
I don't mean to be big headed or anything but i feel that given 3 or 4 more races i could well be competitve with the pro's you never know

And i don't want to be branded dishonourable or branded a cheater just because i cannot prove my times via sharkports ,Xports ( i've allready explained my position on this )And i don't want to have to resort to submiting times that are infact slower than what i have actually achevied just to keep my name clean
I hope you guys can understand this

I know on the rules of the series that Xports etc not needed .But i don't see it working out like this as time goes on as we have allready witnessed

Im not retiring all togther if somehow i can find a way to submit replays then by all means i will return and hopefully give you Pro's a run for you money
But until then i feel this is the only solution

Thanks to everyone who has helped me during my racing here .And thanks to boom for setting this series up

Have fun Guys & Gals remember Keep it clean

I'm only half an hour away from you. I could meet you an' swap memory cards or something.

 

[Mr P]

Daan is the resident wise man and a jolly nice chap ! (in tim nice but dim voice )

@Pedro .. we are a picky bunch sometimes but we know how to smell a rat
no stench coming from u man

 

[pedrodaman]

Thanks Daan thats a really nice offer ..Your from Wishaw right ?? Would you be okay with that sort of arrangement ?? Maybe i can still run the series and if and when as im confident it will i am called out so to speak then i could give you my card

@ Mr P I totaly understand why you guys are so picky as you put it
And i can totaly appreciate how much time and effort you guys put into getting good results (as i've seen from your dobber thumb picture )
And some person claims to have done better with only a few goes
I know i would react the same way it's only natural
I know because im starting to get Dobber thumb syndrome
